Inspired by the Mutant pen and paper RPGs, Road to Eden follows the story of a team of anthropomorphic animals as they try to survive in a “post-human” Sweden. The game features a mix of real-time exploration and XCOM-like turn-based combat, which you can see more of in the video below.

The seamless transition between combat and exploration means players are sometimes able to sneak into enemy camps, setting up advantageous positions before entering a fight.

The video also looks at the game’s hub world, known as the Ark, where players can relax and upgrade weapons and equipment, and mutations - abilities that grant special powers to characters during combat.

PC players who pre-order the standard version of the game will be granted three days early access ahead of release, while pre-ordering the digital deluxe version also gets you access to an exclusive beta next month. More information on both editions can be found here.

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is out 4 December on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
